As in "those power poles sure do seem to jump out at you, am i right??" and my boss is head of the volunteer fire dept which is the only thing that passes for emergency/first response out here. we've seen way more accidents involving cars and power/telephone poles this year, we had two absolute monster wrecks here in this town of 2,000 people over the last week.

Wolfy posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zzw_STcYJ9k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpIb_q1Zd2A&t=1514s It's interesting because the advisory lanes are very narrow and there are people parking in the road and stuff, but OTOH it kind of shows how on a street that's already sufficiently narrow, they can hopefully make it feel even narrower for cars and encourage them to slow down. It's also a one way street which is pretty different from the one built in california though. mystes has issued a correction as of 14:08 on Apr 10, 2022 |

It makes so much more sense on that street. The American one is just so big and open. We're kind of hosed with how big all of our streets are. It'll cost too much money and take too much time to redesign them anytime soon. We probably need our own "American" form of traffic calming that accounts for wide streets, but paint isn't enough. Everyone knows it's imaginary. Speed bumps are real though.

WSB Atlanta: Hartsfield Jackson to start multi-million dollar project to replace South Terminal parking deck. https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/ha...LPS5P6N5VYUWWI/ quote:ATLANTA — Travelers at Hartsfield Jackson International Airport can expect delays this summer season, even if flights are on time. Circling the airport parking lot for a closer spot so that I only have to walk 30 seconds before my 2000-mile flight. Babies, all of them.

Leroy Diplowski posted:Biking for groceries in inclement weather builds fortitude and fortitude is one of the most important things in the world. warmed my heart to see so many bikes parked at aldi at 8pm on a drizzly evening. there's definitely a lot more cycling going on round here, I never used to have problems parking but the bike racks are always busy now. I cycle to aldi because every aldi car park is like a mario party mini game. just gotta park in this trapezoid shaped bay in this triangle shaped car park with a nonsensical one way system and also the delivery lorry is reversing through the middle of it during the busiest part of the day mystes posted:Ugh I only just opened the twitter thread to see what the real thing is like, and it's... barely different lol I was admiring the photoshop job on the lower grille, turns out there wasn't one

Do Aldis outside of the us have baskets? They're slightly annoying when you walk or bike to them in the us because the ones I've been to only have carts. It's not the end of the world but it's kind of slow if you're only grabbing a few things.

What makes you think a carbrain won’t do that as a default regardless of any situation, or even a non-situation. Diesel in the blood

the skills and know-how gap between america and many other developed countries is severe and should be a priority for elected officials. they are friendly countries for the most part and it's mostly state agencies doing this, i'm sure they would help train american government staff and supply relevant services. same idea as with the sewer socialists

Blockade posted:my neighborhood Hey neighbor looks like I got some huntin’ to do. This area has become busier and busier in the ten years I’ve been here, yet this stretch of Chicago Ave is still crawling with lovely aggressive drivers. I remember seeing a flipped suv on Chicago near Western not too long ago. gently caress drivers. This stretch should be a single narrow lane.
